The World of Coca-Cola

Atlanta, as you may already know, is home to The Coca-Cola Company and the best soft drink in the World. Here, in the capital of Georgia, we have a museum called “The World of Coca-Cola”. In May 2007 the museum relocated from Underground to Downtown Atlanta. I’ve just recently visited the new location and really enjoyed it. The new World of Coca-Cola features lower and upper levels where guests can visit the various attractions such as the collection of Coca-Cola artifacts, vault of the secret formula, and display of a fully functioning bottling line; can watch 4D movie, pose for a picture with the the Coca-Cola Polar Bear (yeay!), and sample 64 products offered by The Coca-Cola Company worldwide.
If you travel to Atlanta, I highly recommend to add The World of Coca-Cola to your itinerary. It is fun for kids and adults.

Coca-Cola Sign

In the end of this post I’d like to share a photo from my archive (taken January 1, 2007). It is a famous Atlanta’s landmark- Coca-Cola neon sign. About five-story tall sign features a 10 meters (33 ft) diameter face with flashing and swirling neon lights. The “Coca-Cola” lettering is 3×9 meters (9×28 ft). The original sign was located at Margaret Mitchell Square for nearly 50 years (1932-1981). This sign was installed at Five Points near the location of a former World of Coca-Cola museum in 2003. Quite a piece of Atlanta’s history.

Thanks, Jasmine! I am too a huge fan of The Coca-Cola Company, Classic drink, and its Advertising. I think Coca-Cola logo design is one of the best existing in the world. There is so much thoughtful art in every ad!

Yes, Jess, there is a counter where guests can try Coca-Cola’s new flavored water which is not in the stores yet. It was pretty good.
My favorite taste of all Cokes I tried that day is Coca-Cola’s “BIBO” drink from South Africa, not counting Coca-Cola Classic with 27g of sugar per a bottle ;)

Thanks, Michelle! Yes, Coca-Cola has a great collection/history of designs. It should be studied as a separate subject in art colleges.Memographer recently posted..Cambodia. Siem Reap. Floating Villages

Thanks, Andrew. As promised, I try to keep posting photos from Atlanta :)
I got lucky with “that second photo” you like. It is a room where guests can rest on the Coca-Cola sofa and take pics… So, normally, it’s a very crowded room.memographer recently posted..Cambodia. Siem Reap. Floating Villages
